We are extremely proud of our boys’ outstanding GCSE results, and are particularly delighted with the exceptional showing in the traditional core academic subjects. Our boys continue to perform superbly in these core subjects, assuring the academic rigour and breadth which the very best universities demand.

In addition to all boys attaining grades A* to C in Spanish, boys sitting DT (Graphics) and Music all secured grade C or higher.
